I heard about a friend using a Kobo reader a couple of years ago and wanted to try it, for the novelty factor. First I downloaded the free Kobo reader s/w onto my laptop and bought my first book there.

Last Christmas my family bought me my own eReader, and we're now up to 3 7-inch reader/tablets in our household. I like the convenience of downloading ebooks and then reading them on the tablet although we still read a lot of print books from the library since not all publishers make ebooks available to libraries as epubs (but that's another rant!)
